Making Up for Regrets

Alas, promising this kid's clan members is probably a long way off. Your teacher, Kakashi Hatake, might meet you first.

Although young Kakashi doesn't have the Sharingan yet, it's only a matter of time; he's practically a member of Sasuke's clan now...

As for Iruka's regrets, Charlotte really didn't know what they were. Perhaps she should introduce him to a girlfriend?

By the way, we didn't see him get married in the second part either.

Or should we build a Ninja Academy so he can go back and teach?

The problem is there aren't any Ninja Academy here, so how can they revive their parents who died during the Nine-Tails Incident?

Charlotte stated that this was unlikely, just like Sasuke's clansmen whose names she didn't know; it was practically impossible for them to be recruited.

Just as Charlotte was lost in thought, Iruka and the others finished their Delicious Ramen.

"Lord Charlotte, what mission do you have for us? I'm so excited I can hardly wait."

Rock Lee, who had finished the battle first, spoke with great passion.

Seeing the group's high spirits, Charlotte smiled and said, "Don't get so excited. It's just a C-rank mission; it shouldn't involve any extraordinary powers."

Upon hearing that it was a C-rank mission, no one's expression changed at all. After all, for them, even a D-rank mission was better than the D-rank missions they had encountered in Konoha.

After all, Charlotte Agency rarely receives requests to find pets or items anymore.

"Iruka, bring over the information they sent."

Upon hearing Charlotte's instructions, Iruka immediately got up to retrieve the mission information.

Soon, Iruka came over with a large leather suitcase, and then took out a folder from the suitcase, which contained information about the mission target.

Charlotte took a look at the information about the mission target and discovered that the target was in London, and the three of them were from the same family.

The key point is that the three people look completely different, making it impossible to tell that they come from the same family.

Charlotte took out photos of the three men from her person and placed them on the table. Then she said, "Iruka, this time you will be the team Captain, leading Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee, and Sasuke Uchiha to complete this mission."

"The task is to eliminate the three people in the photo within a week."

"Pakkun is now back in the Summoning Realm. If he needs the help of his Ninja Dog, he can just summon them."

"Try not to reveal your Five Elements Release. If you encounter any extraordinary power or a professional like Mage, remember to report to me immediately."

"After completing the mission, I'll also take a trip to the Continental Hotel in London. It's been almost a month, and they'll be settling accounts soon."

Upon hearing Charlotte's instructions, Iruka rose and replied, "I guarantee I will complete the mission, Lord Charlotte."

Seeing Iruka's serious expression, Charlotte smiled and said, "It's a small task; I trust you won't make any mistakes."

On the other side.

Pepper Potts returned to Tony Stark's Villa.

Upon opening the newly renovated Laboratory door, Pepper immediately saw Tony tinkering with the Mark III.

Tony heard the Laboratory door open, turned around, and saw his assistant Pepper Potts, standing up to speak:

Hi, are you free?

Can you do me a favor?

"Go to my office, hack into the computer mainframe, and get all the recent shipping manifests for me."

As they were talking, Tony took a box from the Laboratory bench and took out an object that looked like USB Flash Drive.

"Use this, you can get in with it."

Pepper Potts took the things from Tony's hands with a blank expression, and then heard Tony continue:

"It might be in the administrative folder; if not, it's probably on a hidden disk."

"Just find the one with the smallest number."

Pepper Potts glanced at what she was holding, then looked at Tony Stark and said:

"If I get my hands on that data, what do you plan to do with it?"

Tony then went to a machine and began operating it manually. Upon hearing Pepper's words, he silently replied:

"As always, they've been engaging in behind-the-scenes deals."

"I will stop them. I will find my weapons and destroy them."

Hearing her boss's words, Pepper Potts sighed, then said, "Tony, you know I'd do anything for you."

"But if you continue to act recklessly like this, I won't be able to help you."

While operating the equipment, Tony said, "From now on, this is my only mission: no opening ceremonies, no charity work, and no more signing documents."

Having said that, Tony stopped what he was doing, walked up to Pepper Potts, and looked her straight in the eye.

That's all.

Pepper Potts looked at Tony and muttered, "That's all?"

"Then I'll resign."

She then threw the things Tony had given her onto the table and turned to leave.

Watching Pepper Potts about to leave, Tony spoke again, "For so many years you've helped me, making ill-gotten gains from destruction, and now I want to redeem myself, but you want to wash your hands of it all?"

Hearing Tony's words, Pepper Potts, who was about to walk out the door, turned around and said with a serious expression, "What you're doing is tantamount to suicide, Tony."

"I don't want to be dragged into this."

Upon hearing his assistant's words, Tony sat down in his chair and said in a low voice, "I should have committed suicide, unless I had a reason to live."

"I'm not crazy, Pepper."

"I just finally understand what I should be doing."

"I firmly believe that I have no other choice."

Seeing Tony Stark's dejected expression, Pepper Potts took a deep breath, then walked back, picked up the things she had just left on the table, and looked at Tony with deep affection, saying, "I have no other choice but you."

Then Pepper Potts remembered the main purpose of her visit today.

"Tony, although our stock price has been falling overall, it has recently rebounded somewhat."

"I've discovered a group of people are aggressively accumulating our shares, not just on the secondary market, but they might soon issue a takeover announcement."

"By the way, the person who bought our stock was Charlotte Doyle."

Upon hearing that the buyer was Charlotte Doyle, Tony didn't seem to care. Instead, he pointed to the Arc Reactor in his chest and said, "He probably likes this. Let him be!"

Seeing that Tony didn't seem to care, Pepper Potts turned and left Tony's Villa. Watching Pepper Potts's retreating figure, a smile appeared on Tony's face.

Pepper Potts rushed to Tony's office and calmly entered.
